Smoke Detectors Market: Diverse Products and Their Differences Smoke detectors or alarms are of two main types, categorized by the type of detection sensors, photoelectric and ionization, used in the alarm. At the same time, a smoke alarm can also use multiple sensors to warn of a fire. a) Photoelectric Photoelectric detectors use a light receptor (photocell) and light beam.
